9. The system of claim 1 wherein the sender profile creation unit is configured to associate the at least one social network message with a set of sender attributes at least partly based on the device-identifier data associated with the device and the network-participation identifier data associated with the sender, wherein the set of sender attributes includes at least one of a social network membership list, one or more social network usernames, one or more social network profile pictures, one or more mutual friend lists, or one or more social networking website-posted items.
10. The system of claim 1 wherein the sender profile creation unit is configured to associate the at least one social network message with a set of sender attributes at least partly based on the device-identifier data associated with the device and the network-participation identifier data associated with the sender, wherein the set of sender attributes includes at least a history of interactions with a recipient of the at least one social network message.
11. The system of claim 1 wherein the sender profile creation unit is configured to associate the at least one social network message with a sender profile at least partly based on the device-identifier data associated with the device and the network-participation identifier data associated with the sender, wherein the device identifier data includes at least one device descriptor, and wherein the at least one device descriptor includes at least geographical information about the device.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the at least one device descriptor is configured to include at least geographical information about the device that was derived from at least one of an internet protocol address, cellular phone tower activity, or Wi-Fi data.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the at least one device descriptor is configured to include at least geographical information about the device that was derived from at least one of routing data or header data associated with the at least one social network message.
14. The system of claim 1 wherein the sender profile creation unit is configured to associate the at least one social network message with a sender profile at least partly based on the device-identifier data associated with the device and the network-participation identifier data associated with the sender, wherein the network-participation identifier data associated with the sender includes at least a name in a telecommunications carrier database.
15. The system of claim 1 wherein the sender profile creation unit is configured to associate the at least one social network message with a real-world person at least partly based on the real-world person's device-identifier data and the real-world person's network-participation identifier data.
16. The system of claim 1 further comprising a personal software assistant user interface for the sender profile creation unit.
17. The system of claim 1 wherein the de-anonymization module configured to employ at least a de-anonymization algorithm to associate the at least one social network message with at least a real-world name comprises:
a de-anonymization module configured to employ at least a de-anonymization algorithm that accepts as input at least device identifier data regarding a device associated with the sender and to associate the at least one social network message with at least a real-world name.
18. The system of claim 17 wherein the de-anonymization module configured to employ at least a de-anonymization algorithm that accepts as input at least device identifier data regarding a device associated with the sender and to associate the at least one social network message with at least a real-world name comprises:
de-anonymization module configured to employ at least a de-anonymization algorithm that accepts as input at least device identifier data that includes at least an internet protocol address associated with the device associated with the sender.
19. The system of claim 1 wherein the device-identifier module is at least a portion of one or more servers configured to receive the at least one social network message from at least one of a mobile telephone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, or a laptop computer.
20. A computer-implemented system comprising:
a device-identifier module operative on a computational platform wherein the device-identifier module is configured to accept at least one social network message from a device associated with a sender that is a member of a network; and
a sender profile creation unit operative on a computational platform wherein the sender profile creation unit is configured to associate the at least one social network message with a sender profile at least partly based on a device-identifier data associated with the device and a network-participation identifier data associated with the sender, the sender profile creation unit including at least a de-anonymization module configured to employ at least a de-anonymization algorithm to associate the at least one social network message with at least a real-world name.
